We have abundant evidence that the ancients were skilled in masonry and the use of stone-cutting tools. They made musical instruments of metal and of 'wood, necessitating the use of many fine tools and of a thorough knowledge of metal-working and of the finer kinds of carpentry. They Spun and wove textile fabrics of great variety and of beauty, although their spmnmg machinery and their looms appear to have been of very simple construction. The tools required in brick-making and pottery were the most primitive we can conceive of. For farming there were, plows and threshing instruments, and sickles and pruning-hooks, and spades and shovels. For carpentry there were hammers and axes and saws, with, probably, a variety of the lesser kind of tools, including borers of various simple patterns.

This is here assumed, and if proof is needed concerning it, beyond what these pages incidentally afford, reference must be made to the work on the subject I have already referred to.
